For all of you music lovers out there the greatest band in the history of music (Ween obviously) have announced on their web site that they will tour Oz early next year. No dates as yet but they are coming..........

They said Oz and NZ so i am thinking they may be doing the BDO out tour. Although that may not be a good thing, at a festival in the US they had a 45 minute slot and played a 45 minute version of poop ship destroyer... I love the song and it is their anthem but......

If they do a proper tour I will do Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide, cannot wait but to get me through I'll have a Pork roll egg and cheese or 3.

Google them if you are keen to find out... They have been around for along time (about 20 years). If you were going to start somewhere with their back catalogue for a listen try Chocolate and Cheese, an album that came out in the mid 90's its fairly user friendly. Recently they released an EP called "The Friends EP" which is a fair mixture of music styles and the new album yet to be released is called "La Cucaracha"

That was funny, but its a shame most people are only aware of Ween due to one song that wouldn't even crack the top100 ween songs.

If you want a good laugh chase up the song "where'd the cheese go?" which Pizza Hut paid them to write as a jingle, they took the finished version to Pizza hut who said they hated it and to change it and Ween came back with "Where'd the mother f*ckin cheese go?"

My brother bought me the "White Pepper" album a couple of years ago. It really surprised me how good it was, and how many different styles they can play/write. I think that the song "The Grobe" is awesome!! Don't think I'll go see them live though... I'm too old.

Never too old mate most of the people I know that are in to Ween and will be going to see them are in their 40's. There is a live DVD/CD called Live in Chicago that you should check out, not really a young crowd and they play an amazing version of The Grobe. Highlight of the show for me though is "Booze me up and get me high" great song and a sing-a-long to boot.

They get pegged unfairly as a 'joke' band. But those in the know appreciate how good these guys are at what they do. Sure, their subject matter is 'interesting' sometimes, but they sure know how to craft a great song and play the shit out of it.

The Mollusk is one of the finest albums of the 1990s and I would gladly listen to that over anything by Nirvana, Green Day or anyone else that unfairly got all the press while these guys were showing them all how it should be done.
